Another New Look in Trenchtown
Uppotting Humboldt Dream
Veg Day 13
Since the Strawberry Haze became the show plant for the ViparSpectra KS3000 journal, the Humboldt Dream is now a part of this grow/journal. Tonight I uppotted her from her whatever size it is starter pot to a brand new @GeoPot 7. I’m out of coco again. Lol.
I love coco. In soil there’s no possibility of a root ball as big as the starter pot staying together after only 13 days. In coco I could hold it with one hand and nothing dropped. Heh. The pot is approximately four Solo cups in size. Maybe around a gallon.
So here’s our three little ones and the monster lurking in the back.
What great growth for day 13. Humboldt Seed Company always brings it.

Uppotting the Morning After
Humboldt Dream
Veg Day 14
She seems very happy in her new digs. Since I was just a touch short of totally full with this pot and coco, I folded the top seam back, lowering the edge of the pot about an inch. It folds down perfectly and creates a nice little interior leaning pot edge that will help keep coco and water in the pot. I like it so much I’m going to do it this way going forward. Happy accident.
This girl is on week two of veg of the @Remo Nutrients feed chart.

@Azimuth, I know you’re in my corner when folding down the edge of a pot becomes an “innovation.”Yet one more innovation from the Land of Jon.

Check out the rather odd calyxes on this plant. Very pointy, and they have these down curling hairs at every calyx doublet. Her bud formation is quite unruly too. She’s a wild one. Getting frosty early too. Heh.

Hey @Azimuth, got any links on making your own coco? I have two of these in my backyard. I can see 11 coconuts.

Day 46
Here’s two pictures: a shot of part of the lower ring and a shot of the top of the plant. The PMC grows much like the Watermelon WeddingCake, also a Growers Choice offering, and which I’ve grown more than once. She looks very similar to the WWC at this point in flower, for those of you who saw that beast of a plant. Just a veritable bud factory. This one is better trained and spread and opened up than my previous efforts at the same training style. I’m expecting great things from here out.
Here’s what Growers Choice advertises the finished buds as looking like:
Heh. If I come close to that I’ll be pretty psyched.

My Latest Folly
A Pretty Cool Experiment
Ok, so these are the three stems from the defunct outdoor plants, yanked and pulled out of the pots by whatever means necessary. That giant and beautiful big one from the Mandarin Zkittlez was way hard to get out! Look how thick the feeder roots are on her.
Anyway, this is what I want to find out: will pot grow in a medium of ground up and dried pot stems? Like coco, only made entirely of stems and roots.
It’s just a curiosity. I thought it would make for an interesting experiment. What I will do is let these dry out beyond drying out. Including rinsing away everything but stems/roots. Then I’ll warm water, lemon juice, and H2O2 wash them and again let them dry out. When they’re 100% dry I will grind them up. I believe these three stems will give me enough medium for a Solo cup, which is all it should take. Then pop a seed and drop it in and water her a la coco at 5.8. I am making the assumption /having the hope that after the washing and drying and the time since the chop, the stems medium will provide an inert medium.
See if it grows!
Cool experiment? Boring, it’s been done 100 times?

Interesting to see how the roots mirror the ages of the respective plants. The oldest was the biggest, the Mandarin Zkittlez on the right. Second oldest, about 15 days behind, was the far left, Tropicanna Banana, and the youngest, another 15 days back, in the middle, the Crescendo.My Latest Folly

Filling it to the rim with a hump in the center maximizes the space available for roots.
You do that every time your reducing your roots before you start.
Fill it, make your Moat and hump the center.
You know this.

I leave a good 1-2" lip all around my pots. Gives me a place for the mulch layer and allows for watering from the top without making a mess. I get feeder roots up top under the mulch but I would think the roots you're talking about are mostly the water roots which would be lower anyway.?

Read the whole post Sensei. Pretty clear about being short coco or I wouldn’t have done it. And I highly doubt you or anyone else has as much coco in their 7s as I have in this pot. It’s plenty packed. I’m not splitting hairs over a fold of an inch.I'm sorry Jon but I don't see the benefit.
